Wellness Q & A

What is wellness?

As defined by the World Health Organization, "Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." It is an approach that looks at individuals as complex, dynamic, and sentient beings rather than merely the presentation of distinct signs and symptoms.

To begin a wellness journey is to take on the conscious development and improvement of your self. It involves looking inward and making use of available tools and techniques to improve all aspects of your daily life.

How can chiropractic care improve overall wellness?

The first step involves a thorough assessment of your overall health and wellness. Dr. Greenberg takes the time to get to know each patient in her care.

She completes a thorough physical examination in addition to a detailed health history and a discussion of any causes for concern. This information allows her to create an overall treatment and wellness plan that is in line with your particular set of needs.

Chiropractic care can improve overall wellness by addressing specific physical concerns, such as the misalignment of your spine and the stress it places on surrounding soft tissues. However, chiropractic care goes far beyond spinal manipulation.

Dr. Greenberg is also able to provide expert advice on how you can improve wellness through changes in diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements. Each man and woman in her care receives a customized treatment plan that includes recommendations in these areas.
